                                    ______________________________________


                                                   ARTICLE I

                                                  STOCKHOLDERS

         Section 1.01. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for the
election of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting
shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, or, within the sole discretion of
the Board of Directors, by remote electronic communication technologies and at such date and at such time, as
may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors and set forth in the notice or waiver of
notice of the meeting.

         Section 1.02. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the
Chief Executive Officer (or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, by the President or, in the
event of his or her absence or disability, the Executive or Senior Vice Presidents in order designated by the
Board of Directors, but if not so designated, then in the order of their rank), or by the Board of Directors.
Such special meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of
Delaware, or, within the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, by remote electronic communication
technologies, as shall be specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof. Any power of
stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting is specifically denied.

         Section 1.03.  Notice of Meetings; Waiver.

                 (a) The Secretary or any Assistant Secretary shall cause written notice of the place, if any,
         date and hour of each meeting of the stockholders, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose
         or purposes for which such meeting is called, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which
         stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, to be
         given personally, by mail or by electronic transmission, not fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty
         (60) days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If
         such notice is mailed, it shall be deemed to have been given to a stockholder when deposited in the
         United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears
         on the record of stockholders of the Corporation, or, if a stockholder shall have filed with the
         Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to


         such stockholder be mailed to some other address, then directed to such stockholder at such other
         address. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law.

                 (b) A written waiver of any notice of any annual or special meeting signed by the person
         entitled thereto, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, shall be
         deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular
         or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in a written waiver of notice. Attendance of
         a stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except
         when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the
         meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or
         convened.

                 (c) For notice given by electronic transmission to a stockholder to be effective, such
         stockholder must consent to the Corporation's giving notice by that particular form of electronic
         transmission. A stockholder may revoke consent to receive notice by electronic transmission by written
         notice to the Corporation. A stockholder's consent to notice by electronic transmission is
         automatically revoked if the Corporation is unable to deliver two consecutive electronic transmission
         notices and such inability becomes known to the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, the transfer agent or
         other person responsible for giving notice.

                 (d) Notices are deemed given (i) if by facsimile, when faxed to a number where the stockholder
         has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when mailed electronically to an
         electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive such notice; (iii) if by
         posting on an electronic network (such as a website or chatroom) together with a separate notice to
         the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later to occur of (A) such posting or (B) the
         giving of the separate notice of such posting; or (iv) if by any other form of electronic
         communication, when directed to the stockholders in the manner consented to by the stockholder.

                 (e) If a stockholder meeting is to be held via electronic communications and stockholders will
         take action at such meeting, the notice of such meeting must: (i) specify the means of remote
         communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present and vote
         at such meeting; and (ii) provide the information required to access the stockholder list. A waiver of
         notice may be given by electronic transmission.

         Section 1.04. Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the
presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of one-third of the shares entitled to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business as such meeting.

         Section 1.05. Voting. If, pursuant to Section 5.05 of these Bylaws, a record date has been
fixed, every holder of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one
(1) vote for each share outstanding in his or her name on the books of the


                                                       2

Corporation at the close of business on such record date. If no record date has been fixed, then every holder
of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each
share of stock standing in his or her name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on the day
next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. Except as otherwise required by law,
the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or
by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient for the transaction of any business at
such meeting.

         Section 1.06. Voting by Ballot. No vote of the stockholders on an election of Directors need be taken
by written ballot or by electronic transmission unless otherwise required by law. Any vote not required to be
taken by ballot or by electronic transmission may be conducted in any manner approved by the Board of Directors
prior to the meeting at which such vote is taken.

         Section 1.07. Adjournment. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the stockholders, the
stockholders present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn any such meeting from time to time
until a quorum is present. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation need not be
given if the place, if any, date and hour thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken, provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the
adjournment a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed pursuant to Section 5.05 of these Bylaws, a
notice of the adjourned meeting, conforming to the requirements of Section 1.03 hereof, shall be given to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present,
any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting.

         Section 1.08. Proxies. Any stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders may
authorize another person or persons to vote at any such meeting and express such consent or dissent for him or
her by proxy. A stockholder may authorize a valid proxy by executing a written instrument signed by such
stockholder, or by causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means
including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature, or by transmitting or authorizing the transmission if a
telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission to the person designated as the holder of the
proxy, a proxy solicitation firm or a like authorized agent. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after
the expiration of one (1) year from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period.
Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it, except in those cases where
applicable law provides that a proxy shall be irrevocable. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not
irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing with the Secretary either an instrument
in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date. Proxies by telegram,
cablegram or other electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it
can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the
stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of a writing or transmission


                                                       3


created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for
any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy,
facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original
writing or transmission.

         Section 1.09  Organization; Procedure. At every meeting of stockholders the presiding officer shall be
the Chairperson or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, the Vice Chairperson, or in the event of
his or her absence or disability, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or in the event of their absence
or disability, the Executive or Senior Vice Presidents in order designated by the Board of Directors, but if
not so designated, then in the order of their rank. The Secretary, or in the event of his or her absence or
disability, an Assistant Secretary, if any, or if there be no Assistant Secretary, in the absence of the
Secretary, an appointee of the presiding officer shall act as Secretary of the meeting. The order of business
and all other matters of procedure at every meeting of the stockholders may be determined by such presiding
officer.

         Section 1.10.  Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

                 (a)    Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

                        (i) Nomination of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and
                 the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting
                 of stockholders (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chairperson of the
                 Board of Directors or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, the Vice Chairperson,
                 or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, the Chief Executive Officer or the
                 President, or, in the event of their absence or disability, the Executive or Senior Vice
                 Presidents in the order designated by the Board of Directors, but if not so designated, then
                 in order of their rank, or (B) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote
                 at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of
                 this paragraph and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the
                 Secretary of the Corporation.

                        (ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting
                 by a stockholder, pursuant to clause (B) of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 1.10, the
                 stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing or by electronic transmission to
                 the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to
                 the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not fewer than ninety (90)
                 days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the
                 preceding year's annual meeting and in any event at least forty-five (45) days prior to the
                 first anniversary of the date on which the registrant first mailed its proxy materials for the
                 prior year's annual meeting of shareholders; provided that if the date of the annual meeting
                 is advanced by more than thirty (30) days or delayed by more than seventy (70) days from such
                 anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than
                 one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of
                 business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day
                 following the date on


                                                       4


                 which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall the
                 adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's
                 notice as described above. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (A) as to each person
                 whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director, all
                 information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of
                 proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to
                 Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and
                 Rule 14a-11 thereunder, or any successor provisions, including such person's written consent
                 to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected;
                 (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a
                 brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for
                 conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such
                 stockholder and of any beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to
                 the stockholder giving the notice and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination or
                 proposal is made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the
                 Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (2) the class and number of shares of
                 the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such
                 beneficial owner.

                        (iii) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(ii) of this
                 Section 1.10 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the
                 Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming
                 all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors
                 made by the Corporation at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the
                 preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice under this paragraph shall also be
                 considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such

                                                       6


                 (b)    determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots;

         transmissions in accordance with Section 1.08 hereof;

                 (d)    count all votes and ballots;

         challenges made to any determination by the inspectors;

                 (f)    certify his or her determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting,
         and his or her count of all votes and ballots;

                 (g)    appoint or retain, if he or she so desires, other persons or entities to assist in the
         performance of the duties of inspector; and

                 (h)    when determining the shares represented and the validity of proxies and ballots, be
         limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information
         provided in accordance with Section 1.08 of these Bylaws, ballots and the regular books and records of
         the Corporation. The inspector may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of
         reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers or their nominees or a
         similar person which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner
         to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspector considers other reliable
         information as outlined in this section, the inspector, at the time of his or her certification
         pursuant to paragraph (f) of this section, shall specify the precise information considered, the
         person or persons from whom the information was obtained, when this information was obtained, the
         means by which the information was obtained, and the basis for the inspector's belief that such
         information is accurate and reliable.

shall determine otherwise.

shall be registered pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Act, any action required or permitted to be
taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the
stockholders of the Corporation, and the ability of the stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any
action is specifically denied.

         time by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer.

                                                   ARTICLE V

                                                 CAPITAL STOCK

         Section 5.01. Certificates of Stock; Uncertified Shares. The shares of the Corporation shall be
represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that
some or all of any or all classes or series of the stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated shares. Any
such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until each such certificate is
surrendered to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board of Directors,
every holder of stock in the Corporation represented by certificates and upon request every holder of
uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation, by
the Chief Executive Officer, the President or a Vice President, and by the Chief Financial Officer, the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, representing the number of
shares registered in certificate form. Such certificate shall be in such form as the Board of Directors may
determine, to the extent consistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws.

         Section 5.02. Signatures; Facsimile. All signatures on the certificate referred to in Section 5.01 of
these Bylaws may be in facsimile, engraved or printed form, to the extent permitted by law. In case any
officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile, engraved or imprinted signature has
been placed upon, a certificate shall have ceased to be an officer, transfer agent or registrar before such
certificate is issued, it may issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were an officer,
transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

         Section 5.03. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct that a new
certificate be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, upon delivery to the Corporation of an affidavit of the owner or owners of such
certificate, setting forth such allegation. The Corporation may require the owner of such lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to
indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction
of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

         Section 5.04. Transfer of Stock. Under surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the
Corporation of a certificate for shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate evidence of succession,
assignment or authority to transfer, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled
thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. Within a reasonable time after
the transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written
notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to the laws of
the State of Delaware. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws, the
Board of Directors may prescribe such additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to
the issue, transfer and registration of shares of the Corporation.



                                                      18


         Section 5.05. Record Date. In order to determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record
date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by
the Board of Directors, and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor fewer than ten (10) days before the
date of such meeting. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, provided, however, that the Board of Directors
may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

         In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any
dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights of the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights
in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the
Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days
prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution
relating thereto.

         Section 5.06. Registered Stockholders. Prior to due surrender of a certificate for registration of
transfer, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to receive
dividends and other distributions, to vote, to receive notice and otherwise to exercise all the rights and
powers of the owner of the shares represented by such certificate, and the Corporation shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether
or not the Corporation shall have notice of such claim or interests. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be
made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if,
when the certificates are presented to the Corporation for transfer or uncertificated shares are requested to
be transferred, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.

         Section 5.07. Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Board of Directors may appoint one (1) or more
transfer agents and one (1) or more registrars, and may require all certificates representing shares to bear
the signature of any such transfer agents or registrars.


                                                       19


                                                   ARTICLE VI

                                                INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 6.01. Nature of Indemnity. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or Proceeding (a
"Proceeding"), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was or has agreed to become a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed
to serve at the request of the Corporation as a Director or officer, of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such
capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such a
Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become an employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation, or is or was
serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his
or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful; except that in the case of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, and (2) no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in
which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify
for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.05 of these Bylaws, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify
a Director or officer of the Corporation in respect of a Proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such
Director or officer, unless such Proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized by the Board of Directors.

         The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful.

         Section 6.02. Successful Defense. To the extent that a present or former Director or officers of the
Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section
6.01 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.


                                                      20


         Section 6.03. Determination that Indemnification is Proper. Any indemnification of a present or former
Director or officer of the Corporation under Section 6.01 hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by
the Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of the present or former Director or
officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Section 6.01 hereof. Any indemnification of a present or former employee or agent of the Corporation
under Section 6.01 hereof (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation upon a determination that
indemnification of the present or former employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 hereof. Any such determination shall be made,
with respect to a person who is a Director or officer at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote
of the Directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee
of such Directors designated by majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if
there are no such Directors, or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion,
or (d) by the stockholders.

         Section 6.04. Advance Payment of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Director
or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative Proceeding shall be paid by the
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is
not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. Such expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by former Directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon
such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may authorize
the Corporation's counsel to represent such Director, officer, employee or agent in any Proceeding, whether or
not the Corporation is a party to such Proceeding.

         Section 6.05. Procedures for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Any indemnification of a
Director or officer of the Corporation under Sections 6.01 and 6.02, or advance of costs, charges and expenses
to a Director or officer under Section 6.04 of these Bylaws, shall be made promptly, and in any event within
thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the Director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation
that the Director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI is required, and the
Corporation fails to respond within thirty (30) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall
be deemed to have approved such request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnity or
advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within
thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article VI shall be enforceable
by the Director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in
connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such
Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such Proceeding (other
than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.04 of
these Bylaws where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant
has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 of these Bylaws, but the burden of proving such
defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the


                                                      21


failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the
claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in Section 6.01 of these Bylaws, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has
not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

         Section 6.06. Survival; Preservation of Other Rights. The foregoing indemnification provisions shall
be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director, officer, employee and agent who serves in
any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligations
then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any Proceeding previously or
thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a "contract
right" may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such Director, officer, employee or agent.

         The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
Directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

         Section 6.07. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was or has agreed to become a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and
incurred by such person or on such person's behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status
as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under the provisions of this Article VI, provided that such insurance is available on acceptable terms, which
determination shall be made by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

         Section 6.08. Severability. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any
ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Director
or officer and may indemnify each employee or agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to a Proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the
Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have
been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.


                                                      22


                                                  ARTICLE VII

                                                    OFFICES

         Section 7.01. Initial Registered Office. The initial registered office of the Corporation in the State
of Delaware shall be located at Corporation Trust Center, 1209 N. Orange Street in the City of Wilmington,
County of New Castle.

         Section 7.02. Other Offices. The Corporation may maintain offices or places of business at such other
locations within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or
as the business of the Corporation may require.


                                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                               GENERAL PROVISION

         Section 8.01.  Dividends.

                 (a) Subject to any applicable provisions of law and the Certificate of Incorporation,
         dividends upon the shares of the Corporation may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular
         or special meeting of the Board of Directors and any such dividend may be paid in cash, property, or
         shares of the Corporation's capital stock.

                 (b) A member of the Board of Directors, or a member of any committee designated by the Board
         of Directors shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Corporation and
         upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of its
         officers or employees, or committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other person as to matters
         the Director reasonably believes are within such other person's professional or expert competence and
         who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation, as to the value and
